Asscher cut
A square step cut with deep, concentric symmetry.
Sometimes called a square emerald, the asscher draws the eye down through its table into a series of receding squares. Like the emerald it rewards higher clarity and a very precise cut.

We move enough volume that we will not pretend to know which stone in the parcel becomes yours. What we will do is put a floor under every part of it and let the variance run in your favor — the weight, the clarity and the color can come in above what you paid for, and regularly do.
For example
You order 1.00 ct · VS1 · F.
You might receive 1.10 ct · VVS1 · D.
Same price either way.
What VS1 and D–F actually mean
- VS1
- Very slightly included. Minor inclusions, hard to locate even under a loupe.
- Color D
- Absolutely colorless. The top of the scale, and mostly bought for that fact.
- Color E
- Colorless. Distinguishable from D only by a grader with comparison stones.
- Color F
- Colorless. The last grade before faint warmth appears under laboratory light.

Buying a asscher
Sometimes called a square emerald, the asscher draws the eye down through its table into a series of receding squares. Like the emerald it rewards higher clarity and a very precise cut.
Proportion to expect: 1.00–1.05. We cut to the middle of that range, so a asscher from us looks like the shape you pictured rather than a stretched version of it.
Every asscher is laboratory grown, graded by IGI or GIA, and shipped with its report. If the stone that arrives is not the one you want, request a return authorization within 30 days.
